>That may seem obvious to you and I. Hence my question.

I think it seems obvious to everyone, and anyone saying the entire economy was shutdown was just being hyperbolic. Everyone who lived through it knows that they were able to buy groceries and that their power and lights stayed on.

>Would it? What models showed that, and how much higher is massively?

Something like 12 percentage points according to this paper [1].

>There were many companies that that stayed open.

Right. But my point is that unemployment rate isn't everything when discussing what percentage of the economy shutdown. Many people were receiving paychecks despite their company being essentially closed for business.
